Former US president Jimmy Carter nearly punched former SA president Thabo Mbeki over HIV/Aids treatment in the country, according to a report.

“The first time I came here to Cape Town I almost got in a fight with the president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, because he was refusing to let Aids be treated,” Carter told the Sunday Times newspaper.

He said at the time, then-health minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang was standing with Mbeki.

“That’s the closest I’ve come to getting into a fist fight with a head of state”.

Carter said he and Bill Gates senior were trying to convince Mbeki to at least provide antiretroviral treatment to pregnant women with Aids, “but Mbeki was against that”.

why was he against it

The way one party demonizes Carter, and his own party ignores him....is a damn shame. Carter was legitimately the last good man to be president. He refused to compromise his principles and paid the price.

He believes that those advocating treatment are racists and doesn't want to accept help from them.

​

It's a little more than that though because he made a presidential advisory council of a bunch of crackpot HIV denialists, many of whom were white. Pseudoscience
kills.

Thabo Mbeki said "I am saying that you cannot attribute immune deficiency solely and exclusively to a virus."

 

[King Ming]

My only concern is that whatever Mr Mbeki said about the relationship between HIV and Aids, is still not proven up to this day.
Does HIV cause Aids?, do we have scientific or Biological evidence?
Yes he did question the HIV/Aids but did he get any answers? NO he didn't get any answers?
